These 12 and 14-string guitars are designed specifically for the "uncrossed" tunings. The bass side is tuned the same as a standard 6-string bass, and the guitar side is tuned an octave above, making touch-style playing easier for musicians accustomed to standard bass and guitar tunings. String spacing is greater on the bass side so that typical right-hand bass plucking and slapping techniques may be used with greater ease. All options and woods available for the Artist models are also available for these guitars.
"This is the guitar I have waited for the whole time I have played Touch-style instruments! Awesome bottom end, sustain for days, great stereo separation, (even with distortion and compression on the guitar-side), and the best synth triggering I have ever played on any stringed instrument."
- Jim Wright
